SENDER AUTHENTICATION FOR DIFFICULT TO CLASSIFY EMAIL - The portion of email traffic that cannot be definitively determined to be spam or definitively determined to be ham (non-spam) is processed by sending a bounceback email to the sender, requiring the sender to reply using a sub-address created by the bounceback generator. The type of bounceback email depends on whether the domain of the received email indicates that the sender is or is not likely to be a spammer. When the sender is not likely to be a spammer, the bounceback email includes a sub-address in computer readable form. When the sender is likely to be a spammer, the bounceback email includes a test that must be solved to yield the sub-address; preferably, the test is very difficult for a computer to solve but reasonably easy for a human to solve. When a reply email to the bounceback email (“reply bounceback”) is received, the presence of the sub-address indicates that the sender is not a spammer, so the reply bounceback is determined to be ham and delivered to the destination mailbox. The bounceback can have the sub-address encoded in such a way that a human must be involved in decoding, which is appropriate for situations where the envelope sender domain of the original email is considered suspicious. The bounceback can have the sub-address presented in a computer readable format when the envelope sender domain of the original email is more trustworthy, if authenticated. Authentication information can be retained in a local private Sender Policy Framework (SPF) database, or shared in a centralized private SPF database.

The digital document file can be resident already on a device, and/or be transferred into a device that is connected to the digital appliance. The device (hereafter a DRM device) can internally store the digital document or part of the document. The DRM device may decrypt the digital document when requested to do so. The device may further format the content for usage, for example, convert text into its graphic bitmap representation. Device formatting can include sending plain text data to the digital appliance. The device may further process degradation to the resulted file, for example, reduce the resolution of the graphic representation. The digital appliance uploads the result of the processing or sections of the result of the processing for user access via the digital appliance.

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCING TRANSGENIC PLANTS PROVIDING HIGH STARCH CONTENT AND YIELD AND HIGH AMYLOSE/AMYLOPECTIN BALANCE - A process for the production of transgenic plants that have a high starch content and yield and a high amylose/amylopectin ratio. The alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylases (GPs) catalyze the reversible cutting of bonds α-1,4 of the non-reducing ends of homopolysaccharides with at least 5 glucose molecules such as starch, maltodextrin and glycogen, leading to production of glucose-1-phosphate. The GPs in bacteria and animal cells are responsible for the breakdown of glycogen. Although the increase in GP activity leads to a reduction in intracellular levels of glycogen in bacteria and animal cells, this invention discloses the production of plants that have high starch levels and yields and high amylose/amylopectin ratio, as result of the expression of genes coding for GPs.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING CANTILEVER DEFLECTION IN CONSTRAINED SPACES - Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) allow forces within systems under observation to be probed from the piconewton forces of a single covalent bond to the forces exerted by cells in the micronewton range. The pendulum geometry prevents the snap-to-contact problem afflicting soft cantilevers in AFMs which enable attonewton force sensitivity. However, the microscopic length scale studies of cellular/subcellular forces parallel to the imaging plane of an optical microscope requires high sensitivity force measurements at high sampling frequencies despite the difficulties of implementing the pendulum geometry from constraints imposed by the focused incoming/outgoing light interfering with the sample surface. Additionally measurement systems for biological tissue samples in vitro must satisfy complex physical constraints to provide access to the vertical cantilever. Embodiments of the invention address these geometrical restrictions by exploiting optical periscope approaches that further allows multiple probes to be deployed and multiple optical beams within each probe.

Method for Measuring a Piezoelectric Response by Means of a Scanning Probe Microscope - The piezoelectric response of a sample is measured by applying a scanning probe microscope, whose probe is in contact with the sample The probe is mounted to a cantilever and an actuator is driven by a feedback loop to oscillate at a resonance frequency f. An AC voltage with principally the same frequency f but with a phase (with respect to the oscillation) and/or amplitude varying periodically with a frequency fmod is applied to the probe for generating a piezoelectric response of the sample A lock-in detector measures the spectral components at the frequency fmod of the control signals (K, f) of the feedback loop. These components describe the piezoelectric response and can be recorded as output signals of the device. The method allows a reliable operation of the resonator at its resonance frequency and provides a high sensitivity.
